Allowance Calculator
Pick your child's age and how you want to pay — straight allowance, hybrid, or per-chore — and get a suggested weekly amount with an annual total and a save/spend/give split. For the full reasoning, see how much allowance to pay by age.
Suggested weekly allowance
$10.00–$20.00per week at age 10
Rule of thumb: $1 per week per year of age (up to 2x for bigger responsibilities). Midpoint $15.00/week ≈ $780.00/year.
Hybrid model: pay about $7.50 as a no-strings base, and let them earn up to $7.50 more with bonus chores.
